    All of Sonny’s advantages are gone here. Fear. Forget it Lennox will not be bothered. Reach is same but Sonny will still be reaching due to a considerable height disadvantage. It all comes down to skill. And Lennox performed at a higher level than Sonny ever did. Lennox I believe will eventually batter Sonny slowly but surely. A stoppage in favour of Lennox.

    It’s kind of funny just how much faster Lewis is too despite being 30 something lbs heavier.

    Sonny would blow it on hookers and coke. Wouldn't last more than a couple months.

    I'm leaning to Lewis but you ever know when his chin is going to let him down

    Does your pick for this one flip at certain atmospheric conditions and wattage of overhead lights?

    Well no, it's not flipping. I literally picked Liston at the beginning of this bout. My uncertainty just disappeared as soon as I saw you were going for Lewis.

    In my opinion, Lennox Lewis, cautious in the early rounds, gets more aggressive as the fight goes on, and then stops Sonny Liston later in the fight.
